I live in a soft water area, iv ordered 10l of a and b online. They have sent me the a and b for hard water. I specifically asked for soft water nutrients but nevermind.
I don't want to mess around sending 20litre back with the associated costs so is there any way I can harden my water?

Thanks

Cal-Mag makes it hard water. Other then that. Filtering through limestone will harden it up.

3ml per gallon. It calls for 3-5ml. If you use it with every watering(as you should). 3ml per gallon.

this seems like great advice.

my water comes out the tap ~0.3-0.4 EC and i've drank that shit my whole life. I don't consider it hard, or soft. Use normal nutrients and tap. Also don't use calmag. But I've heard of some people having tap water that is 1.2 EC now that's hard water. It's all relative hence my question. Hopefully OP gets back to us.
